CORK Oct 30-Mr. William O'Brien eluded
the police, to-day, and addressed immense
meeting at Kan ourk just north of here. There
vas a large crowd present, some of whom were
on horseback, having come from distance. Mr..
O'Brien said that this would probably be his

that he was proud to spend it with them. He
ridiculed Mr.. Baifour's idea Of repressing the
agitation in Ireland by confnlng the Nationalist
members of Parliament, who were simply the
outposts of army OF twenty millions of
the Irish race who were scattered in all parts OF
the world. If this was conspiracy. to assert
the rights of Ireland as they were doing, then it
was a conspiracy which possessed every element
to make national greatness and the cause
conquerable. THE tenants adhering the

AFFAIRS OF FRANCE.

Saturdays Defeat a Surprise for the Govern
ment-President Grevy win Not Resign.
special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
LONDON, Oct 30.-The defeat of the French
government in the Chamb Der of Deputies. yester-
day, on a motion proceed to the order of the
day, was a complete surprise to the Ministry,
and the result may be said to have been equally
surprising to its opponents. The adverse vote,
however, is believed to portend the downfall of
the Rouvier Cabinet and will have great in
fueuce upon the course of President Grevy and
several others who have been indirectly affected
by the CaffarelWilson scandals. The opinion
is generally prevalent that the action
of the Chamber denotes that NJ.
Rouvier's supporters have become permanently
divided. and il that be the case the days of the
present government are numbered. 1t is
asserted that President Grevy has abandoned all
idea of resigning, and is stronger in his resolve
to stick than he has ever been upon previous
occasions when clique party have been
clamorous for his withdrawal. This resolve is
said to be due to NJ. Crews conviction that the
nent and that he will be able to disarm oppos-
tion and pacate the enemies Of NJ. Wilson in
the Chamber of Deputies by judicious dispos-
tion of patronage in the formation OF q new Cab
met. Whether this be true not, the asser-
ton has elements of reliability, and easily gains
credence.

His Mission and His Plans.

LONDON, Oct. 30.-Mr. Chamberlain was in
terviewed on board the Etruria at Queenstown,
to-day. He said he had thoroughly enjoyed the
trip from Liverpool. though the weather had
been sgually and cold. On his arrival in New
York he intends to go direct to Washington. not
to Ottawa first. as Canadian papers have stated.
He laughed heartily on hearing the rumor
that the Irish Attorney general would accompany
him, and said that the Canadian press ought to
have known that the Attorney generals work
was cut out for him in Ireland. He attached no
Importance to the structures which certain Can
adian and American papers had thought fit to
pass upon him. He said: II shall enter upon
my duties unaffected in the slightest degree By
any outside hostile criticism. I do not intend to
return to England directly my labors are in-
shed. Not having been in America before. l

institutions. 1t is also my purpose to visit Can

said ne had ceased to be a politician for couple

Mr. Chamberlain said he was confident his

cordial reception in America. and nobody was
more desirous OF maintaining good relations be-
tween England and America than he. For some
time his mind would be occupied more with Of

SIR CHARLES DILKE.

Arrangements Being Made for Securing His
Return to Political Life.
London Cable Special
A story is current here to the effect that
rangements have been quietly making for soma
time pas: for the return to the House of Com
mons from the Chelsea division of Sir Charles
Dixie at the next general election that shall take
place, and the finds many believers.
However little much of truth there may bs
in the statement, which alleges that agents act
ing in behalf of Mr.. Dixie have very quietly yet
very thoroughly sounded the baronet's consttu-
ents on the subject and found them almost
unanimously in favor of his return, it cannot be
denied that everything points in the direction OF
an effort on the part of somebody to influence
public opinion in favor of Mr.. Dixie. and there
are indications that the efforts have been, to
certain degree. successful. The recent state
ment that Fannie Sir Charles's alleged
mistress. and assistant IN the debauchng os
Mrs. Crawford, had come forward to exonerat0
the gentleman from the accusations against
him. by declaring that Mrs. Crawfords allega-
tions contained not one word of truth. is un-
doubtediy part OF the programme OF the man
ayers of the Dixie boom, although it must be
said in justice to the disgraced baronet that
unprejndiccd persons long ago decided for
themselves that the woman who posed as his
victim at tho trial was entirely unTorthy OF
the sympathy extended to her. and in no sense
the outraged woman she professed to be. The
return of Hr Dixie to Parliament would be a
tremendous advantage TO Mr.. Gladstone and TO
the country as we'll. OF all the Liberal leaders
lieutenanrs, when they included. besides Mr.
Dixie. Lord Harrington, Mr.. Chamberlain, MIR.
Goschen and other prominent politicians
and statesmen who went over to the enemy be-
cause they couldn't lead instead of being led,
Mr.. Dixie was unouestionaby the abfest. He
remained steadfast to his prnci pies when Others
deserted the Liberal standard, and there is q
deep-seated conviction in many circles that he
was punished. not so much for his questionable
private conduct. as for his unguestionabe po-
ltical honesty, which is to say that had he
shown signs of following the example of the
leaders of the dissidents who owed every mo-
ment Of political distinction they ever enjoyed
to Mr.. Giadson. he would have gone scot free
Both the Tories and the Upicnlsts will, of
course do everything in their power to keep
Mr.. Dixie out of Parliament. but it as quite
apparent that at the next election the majority
of them will find themselves with enough to 40
to keep themselves IN. he will be elected if he
will give his cam paign.his personal attention.

WABASH, Ind, Oct. 30.-Chares Moore, a
telegraph operator employed at Huntington. in
the train-dispatchers Office OF the Chicago &
Atlantic railway at the time the terrible wreck
occurred at Kouts, has become insane. Moore
resigned his position several days ago. He said
his heart failed him every time ne entered the
Office and recalled the scenes enacted
there in which the officials receiv-
ing news of the killing and cremation of their
passengers. On the day following the wreck
Moore states that a number of the officials of the
road met in the dispatchers Office at Hunting
ton, and tney. with the telegraph operators and
the train men, wept in each others arms as the
horrible news came in. The chief dispatcher
sckened of reporting each hour additional
deaths and horrors, and called Moore to the key.
The young man stated the above facts before he
became insane. 1t was not until yesterday that
he showed signs of insanity.
